KEEPING MEMORIAL DAY.
FRIENDS or TIE c. C.: ] suppose you are all
thinking nhout Memorial Day. and how you will
help in decorating the graves Of our fallen heroes.
Let me tell you how "A few of us girls started it's
ceiebmlion here. One Decoration Day. four or 1--we
years ago, half dozen of our Sunday school class
met AT our house and decided 10 have a celebration
OF our own
We went 10 a lovely romantic placed called
Moss Palace, where we gathered evergreens of
winch we made crosses aud Nfeaths under the
direction 81 mother who had helped iB pe chrailiuns
in Maine New Hampshire and Massachu setls
Alter completing preparations marched TO
the cemetery. each carrying "a cross wreath, flag
aud flowers, where we Teyerenty placed them
tle graves of tlic soldiers and then returned home.
Since then, t1e Proctor Guards have observed the
day. until ihsi year, when Chas. Hale Post Of the
Grand Army, celebrated IL with the proper eNer-

our celebration with theirs, that " Tail oaks from
little acOfBs grow"
Now, friends u 6e C. c.. hope there is no place
IN all beautiful land where tie graves Of the
soldiers not decoiHtcd But should you know
of such "a place. cannot you think OF some way in
which 10 help start the Observance of the day ian

their country under our glorious Stars and Stripes
